Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cooked chicken, eggs, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, all-purpose flour, mayonnaise, green onion, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the batter is thick and scoopable.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers.
- Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture for each fritter into the skillet. Gently flatten each fritter to form a patty, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. If desired, press them lightly with a spatula halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Notes
If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley (about 1 teaspoon) works well as a substitute. For extra flavor, try using rotisserie chicken or even leftover turkey, and experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicier variation. These fritters can be made a day ahead and reheated in a skillet to restore their crispiness. Serve with a fresh green salad or your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or spicy sriracha mayo for a full meal.
